Recenzii

Queer Theory Now is a thorough synthesis of thirty years of queer theory and its precursors. It should be required reading in classrooms around the world. An essential primer!
Queer Theory Now is an invaluable resource for newcomers to queer theory. McCann and Monaghan define key terms with outstanding clarity. Centering the work of theorists of colour and trans theorists, the authors uncover the variegated histories that have converged on, and diverged from, queer theory. Eminently teachable.
This is a rigorous and pedagogically designed introduction to queer theory that covers not only the field's foundations but also more recent debates. Moreover, the inclusion of case studies, definitions of key terms and film recommendations makes complex ideas accessible for students finding their way in queer theory. - Sam McBean, Queen Mary University of London, UK
Part disciplinary history, part field assessment, part critical reference, Queer Theory Now is perhaps most importantly a primer for the queer work ahead. It will be a welcome queer pedagogy text in both undergraduate and graduate classrooms.
An absolute must read! Queer Theory Now, carefully crafted by McCann and Monaghan, is an incredibly timely, necessary and rich resource. Undergraduates and post-graduate students interested in engaging with historical and contemporary debates in queer theories will find much to stimulate their thinking in this book.
The last real primer for queer theory was Annemarie Jagose's Queer Theory over 20 years ago. Queer Theory Now fills that enormous gap, covering key areas such as intersectionality, the global dimensions of queerness, and the history of the field, while remaining attentive to the difficulties of defining the complex and ever-evolving perspectives on sexuality and gender.
The most concise and comprehensive explanation of the past, present and future of queer theory available today. This book traces queer theory's significant histories and locates its renewed relevance in contemporary times. It makes queer theory's evolution and complexities easy to access and is a must-have for any university library.
McCann and Monaghan have written one of the most insightful overviews of queer theory currently on the market. It is highly recommended for those seeking an accessible guide to key ideas, issues, developments, and controversies in this field. The writers deserve credit for their ample demonstration of queer theory's applicability to a range of disciplines, lives, and events.
